EN 3051 Thou Say’st, “Take Up Thy Cross”
Matt.16.24
Versi Version 1
1
Thou say’st, “Take up thy cross,
O man, and follow Me”;
The night is black, the feet are slack,
Yet we would follow Thee.
2
But O dear Lord, we cry,
That we Thy face could see!
Thy blessed face one moment’s space—
Then might we follow Thee!
3
Dim tracts of time divide
Those golden days from me;
Thy voice comes strange o’er years of change;
How can I follow Thee?
4
Comes faint and far Thy voice
From vales of Galilee;
Thy vision fades in ancient shades;
How should we follow Thee?
5
O heavy cross—of faith
In what we cannot see!
As once of yore Thyself restore
And help to follow Thee.
6
If not as once Thou cam’st
In true humanity,
Come yet as Guest within the breast
That burns to follow Thee.
7
Within our hearts of hearts
In nearest nearness be:
Set up Thy throne within Thine own;
Go, Lord: We follow Thee.
